General Comments
My goal was Bluff Knoll to beach in Fremantle.
(SRNP-PNP-ALB-BIBB-TRK-KALA-FREO) 1200+ km (via Bibb Track E2E S2N) .
What can I say! This is a walk that every person should undertake. It opens your mind & clears your head, it brings you back to basics of eat, sleep, walk, it requires to be on the ball with your surroundings & tests you physically and mentally.
